When : When one says they have a weak bladder I am going to assume this means urinary incontinenece. There are a number of different types of incontinence. One type is over active bladder. This is associated with bladder urgency and frequency. Medications like Ditropan (oxybutynin) can address these symptoms. However there are other causes that can cause these symptoms. It is probably best if you see your doctor and have a urinalysis to rule out an infection and urodynamics to evaluate you bladder function. These will help with finding out the cause of your symptoms as well as guide future treatment.

See below: I am not sure what you mean by "weak bladder". If you have overactive bladder then you might try changing to another medication and making sure that your diet isn't aggravating the condition.
